What a refreshing sound have we stumbled upon. I really dig Lewis McCallum‘s tasty take on music. This New Zealand-based alto-sax player takes his Jazz background and love of Beats to concoct something of epic proportion…the single “First Date”. This track features vocals by Fran Kora and chordal assistance by (APRA Silver Scroll winner) Godfrey De Grut and is from his upcoming album “Syntheology”, coming out next month. With music like this coming out, it sometimes makes me wonder what else New Zealand is going to come with in the future? Big up to the Dorkmeister for dropping some knowledge on us.

The first unofficial leak of the highly anticipated album “Cosmogramma” is a fact. Gilles Peterson premiered Flying Lotus‘s “Computer Face/Pure Being” on his radioshow recently and here you have a it…a sneak peak. The album is due May 4th on Warp and I hope it’s not going to be too wonky or experimental, because we kinda miss the ‘old’ FlyLo sometimes.

Is it number five already? Damn how time seems to fly by. Gilles Peterson presents “Brownswood Bubblers Five” and again surprises us with a compilation full of nice music ranging from Soultronica to Hip Hop and from Jazz to Nu-Soul music. In case you’re not down with the whole Bubblers vibe – it goes a little something like this…

“Brownswood Bubblers provides a platform for unsung heroes and emerging talent from the Worldwide underground. The series distils the stream of exciting new artists that have become semi-permanent fixtures in Gilles’ playlists and DJ sets of late to create a suite of perfect bumps.”

Volume Five drops with March 8th and is full of great music, but what else did you expect? Some of this wonderful music has already been out for some time, while a few gems are highly exclusive and were unreleased up till now. Check out some profiles on their website. So far they’ve featured Ron Basejam, Electric Wire Hustle, Shuanise and Daru & Rena. Already this album is exclusively available through the Brownswood Recordings store, so act fast. You also get a FREE download when you purchase the CD HERE!

After the Jay Electronica show we invite you to drop by the unofficial afterparty: MOOVMNT at MiNiBAR. It’s around the corner and our special guest Ben Westbeech is going to play a dope Hip Hop set for ya’ll. We just might be able to get him drunk enough to pick up the mic and sing a lil’ something live…who knows. It’s FREE entrance so drop on by and have a drink and laugh with us. Also little homie Deluge is celebrating his 28th birthday, so show some love and bring presents.

Tomorrow is the day that Appelsap presents: Jay Electronica at the Sugar Factory. For many Dutch heads it will be the first time they get to see one of Hip Hop’s most promising artists on a Dutch stage. Recently Jay dropped “Exhibit A” and “Exhibit C” on us, but honestly we didn’t need any more evidence. We already knew Jay was the truth after having heard joints like “Candyman” and “Hagler Demo”.
